Create a list from non-signal output of MC objects The mc.makelist object creates a list of values whose size is determined by the highest voice number it receives in its right inlet or specified by the value of its voices attribute. Cycling '74 MC Trigger List Output The left inlet of mc.makelist accepts a bang to trigger the list it currently holds. Items to Assemble Into a List The middle inlet of mc.makelist stores values at a list position determined by the most recently received voice number in its right inlet. Voice Index The right inlet of mc.makelist sets the current voice number which determines the position within its list where a subsequently received value in the middle inlet will be stored. List Output mc.makelist~ sends out its list when it receives a bang in its left inlet or automatically depending on its current trigger mode (mode attribute). Left inlet triggers output. TEXT_HERE Left inlet triggers output, middle inlet sets value of list at current voice number position, right inlet sets voice number for next value received in the middle inlet. TEXT_HERE Left inlet triggers output, middle inlet sets value of list at current voice number position, right inlet sets voice number for next value received in the middle inlet. TEXT_HERE Left inlet triggers output, middle inlet sets value of list at current voice number position using the first element in the input list, right inlet sets voice number for next value received in the middle inlet using the first element in the input list. TEXT_HERE Left inlet triggers output, middle inlet sets value of list at current voice number position using the first element in the input list, right inlet sets voice number for next value received in the middle inlet using the first element in the input list. TEXT_HERE Clear the stored values from all voices Sending the clear message to the left inlet clears all values stored in the object's voices. Select the voice to target When sent to the middle or ight inlets, the word voice, followed by a number, sets the position in the list where the next value received in the middle inlet will be stored. Fixed Output Size When the fixed attribute is enabled and the voices attribute is non-zero, all list output will be the size set by the value of the voices attribute. If fixed is not enabled, output lists are determined by the values received before the list is triggered as well as the triggering details of the mode attribute.
If the fixed attribute is enabled and the voices attribute is non-zero, any voice number received in the right inlet will cause subsequent input in the middle inlet to be ignored until a new voice number in range is received. Set triggering behavior The mode attribute determines how mc.makelist outputs its list in response to incoming values. passive mode Lists are output only when any message is received at the left inlet. The passive mode is useful when you want to decouple list output from incoming values. passive mode Any value arriving at the middle inlet will trigger an output (default value of the mode attribute). buddy mode The buddy mode (named for the buddy object) outputs a list when at least one value for each list position has been received since the last output. In order to work properly in buddy mode, mc.makelist needs an initial value for its voices attribute so it knows how many voices to keep track of. auto mode The auto mode outputs a list immediately after a voice number received in the right inlet repeats for the first time after the last list output. This mode is useful when the list size might change over time. hitrig mode The hitrig mode outputs a list immediately after a value for the highest voice number (as determined by the value of voices attribute) is received. Voice Count The voices attribute sets the maximum voice number mc.makelist will monitor. If the fixed attribute is enabled and the voices attribute is non-zero, the value of voices determines the size of the output list. Values not received are set to zero in the output list.
If the mode attribute is set to hitrig, the voices attribute sets the voice index that will always trigger list output. (This is true whether or not fixed is enabled.)
If the fixed attribute is enabled and the voices attribute is non-zero, any voice number received in the right inlet will cause subsequent input in the middle inlet to be ignored until a new voice number in range is received.
